How Does All-District Work?
Our district features four outstanding ensembles: A 6th through 8th grade All-District Middle School Band, a 9th-10th Grade High School All-District Band, and an 11th-12th Grade High School All Distict Band. Students receive audition music early in the year. The district provides audition excerpts for the 6th-8th and the 9th-10th grade bands. The 11th-12th grade audtion music, which is also the audition music for All-State Band, will be provided by the band director at your school.
Students audition in November at TBA and TBA in Owensboro, KY. The audition of any 11th-12th grade student will count as an audition for both All-District Band and All-State Band - round 1. Second round All-State auditions occur in December at John Hardin High School in Elizabethtown, KY. Students for all of our All-District Bands are chosen based on audition results and our district's instrumentation needs for each of these ensembles.
